Chapter 396: Weakness is the original sin
It is said that after Zhao Yun and Xiahoudun and others led their soldiers and horses to bid farewell to Sun Jian, they marched in the direction of Qingzhou.
At this moment, everyone was about to go to Gaotang County, when they saw the crisp sound of horses' hooves coming from the official road in the distance, and then a soldier rode his horse and galloped over, and when he saw the army standing in the distance, his face showed a look of surprise.
Xiahoudun looked at the soldiers galloping in the distance, and immediately looked at a guard beside him, who also knew that he was galloping away, and then shouted loudly, "Whoever is coming should report the name quickly, otherwise don't blame me for waiting for the arrow!" ”
"General Xiahou, please slow down, the little one is here to deliver the secret report on the order of the lord!" As he spoke, he put his hand in his arms, as if he was looking for something.
Seeing this, the soldiers around them carried their glittering arrows on their bows one by one, and as long as the general gave an order, they could shoot the opponent into a hornet's nest.
Xiahoudun looked at the movements of the soldiers, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he was not worried about what the other party would do to him, after all, there was a super-first-class military general like Zhao Yun by his side, and he was not a weak person, how to say that his strength was also among the first-class generals.
After a short time, the soldier took his hand out of his bosom, and a secret message appeared in everyone's sight, and then he turned over and dismounted, knelt down on one knee, and raised it high to wait for someone to take it away.
The guard looked back at the lord, and saw that the other party did not react in the slightest, so he could only walk towards the soldier with a stiff head, his body was tense like a leopard, and his right hand was placed on the hilt of the sword at his waist, and if there was anything abnormal in this person, he would react immediately.
Time passed minute by minute, and when the guards came to the soldiers, they didn't see the slightest reaction from the other party, and the big stone that was raised high in their hearts could finally be put down safely, and then stretched out the right hand on his waist and grabbed it towards the secret report, and looked at it to see that there was no problem, and then he turned around and walked in the direction of the lord.
Xiahoudun took the secret report handed over by the guards, opened it and read it quickly, his face became more and more ugly as time went by, and he looked at Zhao Yun with a calm face from time to time.
Zhao Yun, as a super-first-class general, naturally had the slightest reaction at all, and when Xiahoudun frequently watched him, he also had a trace of doubt in his heart, what was written on the secret report, and why he could make Brother Yuan Rang look like this.
I don't know how long it took, maybe a minute, maybe an hour, maybe a day, Xiahoudun finally finished reading the secret report in his hand, looked at the soldier not far in front of him and slowly spoke, his voice was not loud but full of majesty, "How did you know that I was waiting in this place?" ”
Xiahoudun thought that there was no trace of his marching track, and he followed Zhao Yun's advice to send elite scouts to reconnoiter the surrounding environment all the time, and if there was any trouble, he could also react as soon as possible.
Hearing this, the soldier slowly raised his head, and cautiously looked at General Xiahoudun, who gave people a look of not being angry and arrogant in the distance, "General Huiyu, the small one is just one of the more than 100 people who sent secret letters, and was sent by Lord Cheng Yu to the routes that the generals might take, so that they can be delivered to you as soon as possible!" ”
Hearing this, Xiahoudun finally understood why this person was able to find himself, if Mr. Cheng Yu couldn't find himself after acting like this, then I am afraid that his group would be more than lucky.
"Big brother, what is written in the secret report that can make Mr. Cheng Yu act like this?" Xiahou Yuan, as Xiahoudun's brother, saw Mr. Cheng Yu looking for the traces of his group with such fanfare, and he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart, and then slowly spoke.
Xiahou Xuan didn't speak when he heard this, but looked at Zhao Yun and Zhao Zilong, who were calm beside him, and nodded involuntarily when he saw the other party's Gu Bo unsurprised eyes, it seems that what the lord said is right Only this person can guard Yanzhou Town, and it is a reassuring existence, after all, there is nothing wrong with the other party's character, isn't it.
When Cao Hong on the side saw Xiahou Yuan asking, he also stretched his neck to look at Xiahoudun not far away, as if he was asking about the content of this person's secret report, as if there was a hairy meat pad scratching in his heart.
Looking at everyone's anxious appearance, Xiahoudun shook his head helplessly, and then slowly spoke, "Everyone, we have another mission, and the route of the march is about to change!" "Yunxuan Pavilion
"Another mission?" Xiahou Yuan was slightly stunned when he heard this, obviously he didn't think of any task that could make the army change the route of the march, to know that the daily consumption of grain and grass was not a joke for such a large army.
looked at his brother Xiahoudun, there was no change in the expression on the other party's face, as if he was not joking, so he had to suppress the curiosity in his heart and wait for the other party's story.
"The content of the secret report is that the lord asked me to go to Yanzhou and help Zilong become the Yanzhou Assassin History, I'm afraid it won't be long before the holy decree will be passed into the hands of Yanzhou Assassin Shi Jinshang!"
Zhao Yuntai on the side collapsed in front of him and his color remained unchanged, and after hearing Xiahoudun's words, he finally had a hint of reaction: "The lord ordered me to go to Yanzhou, and at the same time asked you to help me become the assassin of Yanzhou, as far as I know, Yanzhou has a history of assassination at this moment!" ”
Xiahoudun listened quietly to Zhao Yun's question, and waited for the other party to stop speaking, and said slowly, "Zilong, what you said is right, at this moment, Yanzhou Assassin Shi is an official of Jin Shang, this person is loyal to the Han court, so he was coordinated by His Majesty Han Xian Emperor Liu to go to the court as a Beijing official!" ”
Zhao Yun looked at Xiahoudun with an indifferent expression, where did he not know that what the other party said was coordinated by Emperor Liu of the Han Dynasty, it was just a means forced by the lord Cao Cao, and his heart was also full of dazed looks, although the lord was a master, but was he really loyal to the Han court, such a thought flashed in his mind.
"Zilong, I'm afraid you misunderstood the lord this time, the reason why you sent us to Yanzhou to accept the Yanzhou assassination history is more or less related to the big Han horse master Zhou Qi Zhou Haoran!" Although Xiahoudun is a rugged-looking gangster, he is still more or less coarse and fine, so looking at the unnatural look on Zhao Yun's face, he doesn't know what the other party thinks.
"The big man and the horse master Zhou Qi and Zhou Haoran?" Zhao Yun was slightly stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but mutter. Seeing this, everyone around them turned their eyes to Xiahoudun, as if they were waiting for this person to tell the reason.
"Zhou Qi, the master of the big Han horse, Zhou Haoran led his soldiers and horses to Yizhou!" Xiahoudun looked at the doubts in everyone's eyes, and said slowly in a slow voice.
"Boom!" A loud sound no less than a deep-sea bomb sounded in everyone's minds, how could they not have thought that Zhou Qi and Zhou Haoran, the great Han and horse masters, would send troops again at this time, aren't they afraid that the princes of the world will unite to crusade against this person?
"This time the troops were sent by Yizhou Mu Liu Zhang to ask for help, so even if Liu Xie, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, knew about it, he couldn't say anything, besides, as the master of the Han Dynasty who ruled the land of Sanzhou, he already had the capital to challenge the world!" Although Xiahoudun was full of unwilling looks in his heart, he had to admit that the other party already had the strength to compete with the world's heroes, not to mention those capable people under the command of the other party, that is, the military general who greeted Emperor Liu Xie of the Han Dynasty was deeply impressed.
Zhao Yun was also deeply silent at this moment when he heard this, when he was preventing this person from leading the soldiers and horses to Jiaozhou, the military general he met was not an existence that he could stop, if Zhou Qi and Zhou Haoran really had a heart of disobedience, I am afraid that there are very few people in the entire Han world who can compete with this person.
"Brother, the reason why the lord is so anxious to send soldiers to find us is not because he is preparing to start a war with Zhou Qi and Zhou Haoran, the big Han concubine, but we are allies with the other party!" Xiahou Yuan's face on the side had become solemn, obviously feeling a little uneasy about the lord's behavior.
Everyone around heard that the burly body was slightly shocked, if it was to start a war with the big man and the horse master Zhou Qi and Zhou Haoran, wouldn't it be tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and not measuring his own strength, not to mention the terrifying elite troops under the command of the other party, even those generals guarding the border are also extremely tricky existences.
"Don't worry, how can the lord's mind be guessed by us, besides, the reason why I will fight for Yanzhou this time is just to strengthen my own strength, after all, weakness is the original sin, isn't it?" When Xiahoudun said this, a bitter smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, when did he make the whole Han world tremble, Zhou Qi Zhou Haoran was just a fledgling teenager, and now he has become the supreme overlord of the hegemonic side, how can people not sigh that the world is unpredictable.
"Weakness is the original sin, yes, in such troubled times, weakness is the greatest original sin!" Zhao Yun also agreed with Xiahoudun after hearing Xiahoudun's words, just like he was preparing to go to Yanzhou to seize Jin Shang's position as the assassin at this moment.
Xiahoudun saw that the look on Zhao Yun's face regained his calm again, and the big stone raised high in his heart could finally be put down safely, and at the same time gave a high thumbs up to Mr. Cheng Yu, but he didn't expect the other party to really guess Zhao Yun's thoughts, if there was no words prepared by the other party in advance, I am afraid that he would really not be able to convince the other party with his stupid mouth.
"Let's go!" The big eyes like copper bells looked at the surrounding soldiers, and then the long knife in his hand was heavily pumped on the crotch of the war horse, and the war horse felt the huge force coming from the body involuntarily looked up to the sky and neighed, raised the big hooves of the bowl and rushed into the distance, and the people behind him followed suit after seeing this, and disappeared on the official road after a short time, leaving a sky full of dust... to be continued
